Heh, ok, but not as anything more than a mod or special play-type. The slogan is "keep elma simple", but this idea seems funny (especially "becomes third wheel") =)

Keep elma simple though :P

You havent been thinking of an elma tricycle game since you started playing??!
I always used to think "I wish the head was a wheel" when I started...itd be fun

Hmm, but the wheel would have to go the opposite way of the other wheels..Otherwise it wouldn't work properly (speeding with both head and the normal wheels in a cave for example). But then, when turning the bike over, the two wheels (then being a normal one and the head wheel) would go separate ways and thus, the bike wouldn't move. Bah, too complicated :P

Nah, theyd all move the same way, itd just be strange cos there would have to be only one accelerating wheel, and when youre not on it...

But with this feature you would be immortal, ever thought of that?
Might be funny at first, but then it sucks.

if you had possibility to play that mode it would be boring just like nitro patch..
but as eastern egg? . i mean you could play that mode extremaly rare.
this works like finding secret areas - you search them , reach them, save replays , show your friends - and this is cool. but you don't drive to secret area every time you play a level

Okii, so in elma 2, there will be secret areas in levels that unlock certain features in a cheat menu that can be turned on and off...
Features like:
- 3rd wheel
- Big head mode (Hard Mode)
- Small Head mode (Easy)
- Revese Levels
- etc, etc

chux, be careful so you don't put weird ideas in Balazs' head...he might skip the "secret areas" part!

there are at least three ways to trigger funny mode play/flind eastern eggs
i) kuski name (easiest to implement)
for example kuski name "cheater#1" activates small head mode; "cheater#2" - 3rd wheel etc
ii) secret areas or hard to reach areas
iii) weird actions (the hardest to implement)
for example taking all aplles with the head in specific order; pass the level on one wheel;
taking one apple every one minute; hitting in the hidden points (like in mario bros); etc
